How to grow potted plants at home? Simple and practical planting methods
When wefinish eatingfruit, we always like to fantasize about growing the leftover seeds into small saplings. When we grow each seed into a small sapling, not only do we feel joy, but they can also be displayed for us to admire. So below, let me teach you some methods for making potted plants from seeds.
1. Apple potted plant
Take theapple seeds out of a cleanly gnawed apple core, wash them, and pick them out for later use. Prepare a small iron or plastic box, a paper towel, and a spray bottle filled with clean water. Spread a paper towel at the bottom of the box, place the washedapple seeds on the paper towel, then cover them with another paper towel and set aside. Use the spray bottle to moisten the paper towels, but be careful not to spray too much water, to prevent the seeds from rotting. Close the lid and place it in a cool place to wait for germination. After about 2-3 days,the seeds will sprout. The sprouted seeds can be transplanted into a flower pot for soil cultivation, and within a few more days they will grow lush and leafy. Move the pot to the windowsill so the apple seedlings can getplenty of sunlight and grow strong.
2. Longan potted plant
After eating longan, keep the pits, then remove the flesh and white soft tissue from the top cleanly. After about two days, the outer shell of the longan pits has gradually cracked open, and at this point the water needs to be changed every day. Soak in water for about a week, then arrange them with the sprouting point facing up, from the outside inward, and plant them in a container. Spray water twice a day, and after a week they will begin to sprout. After about a month,they becomethey grow intoa small forest.
3. Lemon potted plant
Cut open a lemon, take out the lemon seeds, wash them, and soak them in clean water for about two or three days. After soaking, the membrane on the surface of the lemon seeds softens, and at this point, peel off the outer shell of the lemon seeds. Place the shelled seeds on a wet wipe, then cover them with another layer of wet paper towel. After airing for 1-2 weeks, the seeds will slowly sprout. Once the sprouts have grown a bit longer, the seeds can be moved into a small flower pot.
4. Carrot potted plant
Prepare a carrot, cut off a large piece from the top of the carrot, and place it in a water container to let it grow freely. Try to grow it in a slender water container, so the leaves will shoot straight up and grow relatively tall, and remember to change the water often. After it grows more leaves, take it out and place it in a suitable decorative container, so the shape will be more upright and lively. Otherwise, its leaves will spread out as they grow, as if lacking vitality.
5. Pomelo potted plant
After eating pomelo, keep the seeds and wash them, and use tweezers to remove the outer shell. Soak them in water for 5-7 days, changing the water every day, so the water does not smell and the seeds do not spoil. Find a container or cup you like and fill it with moist soil, arrange the soaked pomelo seeds in the container with the small end facing up, and cover them with coarse sand or small stones. You can also cover them with plastic wrap, spray a little water every 2 to 3 days, and they will sprout in about a week. After sprouting, also spray a little water every 2-3 days to keep them moist, which helps growth.
6. Pineapple potted plant
Prepare a healthy pineapple, remove the crown, and carefully tear off the small leaves at the bottom to expose the white part, trying not to damage the root primordia under the leaf scars. Then place the crown sideways in a ventilated place and let it air for two days, until the cut dries and heals; doing this can prevent rot. At this point, suspend the crown at the mouth of a bottle, as close to the water surface as possible but avoiding contact. When the roots grow to about 0.5 cm, it is time to prepare for transplanting.The growing medium needs good drainage; you can use perlite mixed with soil. It shouldalways be kept slightly moist, but not wet, and not dry. After about 6-8 weeks, the stem will truly send out strong roots. Do not rush this process, and avoid frequent watering and fertilizing; this point must be noted.After about two months, the pineapple crown has developed into a new plant. At this pointyou will notice that, gradually, the original leaves of the pineapple crown will begin to die and turn brown, and new leaves will begin to grow. Over the course of the following year, cut off the original leaves. During this period, the pineapple should be watered no more than once a week.
